Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: [Tucker DeVries (WVU) / Over Points / 18.5 / -115 / 62% / DeVries led WVU scoring in exhibitions with 20+ PPG efficiency; Mt. St. Mary’s weak perimeter D allows 25% opponent 3PT rate, favoring high usage in home opener.]
Player Prop #2: [Jae’Lyn Withers (WVU) / Over Rebounds / 7.5 / -110 / 58% / Withers averaged 8.2 RPG last season; Mt. St. Mary’s ranks bottom-100 in defensive rebounding, projecting elevated opportunities in fast-paced matchup.]
Player Prop #3: [Khalil Bennett (Mt. St. Mary’s) / Under Points / 12.5 / -105 / 60% / Bennett’s 11.8 PPG limited by WVU’s top-50 defensive efficiency; road fatigue and WVU’s length suppress scoring for mid-major guards in blowout risks.]

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public heavily favors West Virginia at 78%, but money distribution at 65% signals sharp divergence toward Mt. St. Mary’s, aligning with simulation metrics showing a tighter margin than the line implies. Fading the public on the spread and moneyline offers optimal value, as WVU’s new era under Ross Hodge introduces uncertainty despite home advantage. Overall scoring outlook leans moderate-high, with combined efficiencies suggesting the total pushes over amid transitional defenses.
